Institutional self-evaluation: constructing and validating a professor questionnaire

Abstract

This study aims to construct and validate a questionnaire that considers the professor’s perception in the institutional self-evaluation process at University of Brasilia. Therefore, Sinaes axes, bibliography research and a focus group with professors were considered. Based on this information we constructed a preliminary version of the questionnaire, which was refined by the assessment of six judges. The questionnaire final version was sent by Internet to UnB professors. The results indicate important validity evidences of structure composed by three factors: Physical Infrastructure; Planning, Evaluation, Development and Institutional Management and Academic politics and professor management. We conclude that the institutional self-evaluation questionnaire to be answered by the professors presented sufficient evidence to be incorporated to University of Brasilia self-evaluation process.
